  • Method for enhancing blood vessels in angiography images
    Patent number: 8150134
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for enhancing blood vessels in angiography images. The method incorporates the use of linear directional features present in an image, extracted by a Directional Filter Bank, to obtain more precise Hessian analysis in noisy environment and thus can correctly reveal small and thin vessels. Also, the directional image decomposition helps to avoid junction suppression, which in turn, yields continuous vessel tree.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2012
    Assignee: Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Kyung Hee University
    Inventors: Sungyoung Lee, Tae-Seong Kim, Young-Koo Lee, Phan Tran Ho Truc
